Dogs Trust Loughborough has a wonderful variety of breeds looking for their forever homes this October.
Below, we feature eight lovely residents currently staying at the East Midlands branch of the UK’s leading canine welfare charity.
Please note that some of these wonderful dogs may have already found matches or been reserved. To view their current status visit www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/our-centres/loughborough.
If you would like to find out more about adopting any of these dogs, please get in touch with the team at [email protected].

1. Rusty
Rusty is a sweet, active and food-motivated little guy who is ready to be your ultimate adventure buddy. He’s currently finding kennel life a bit stressful, but once he settles in and shows his true colours, you'll see his wonderful, affectionate side shine through. Because he loves to keep his brain stimulated, he is likely to thrive with some fun training sessions. Rusty is looking for a calm home where he can adjust at his own pace with minimal leaving hours at first, and he’ll need to be the only pet in an adult-only or teenage-and-above household.

2. Gavin
This sweet, sensitive soul is ready to find a patient home to help him build his confidence and work through his worries. Once he feels safe and comfortable, this energetic boy loves to show off his playful side, though he's just as happy snoozing away on a cozy bed with his family. Gavin is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only pet to soak up all your attention. While he has the potential to be left alone for up to six hours, you'll want to build this up gradually once he has settled in. Photo: Dogs Trust

3. Roscoe
Roscoe, affectionately nicknamed "Potato", is a sweet lad who is ready to slot right into a peaceful home and act as your ultimate cuddly, fluffy hot water bottle in the winter! Because he has some worries around strangers, vets, and other dogs, he’ll need an understanding family willing to continue building his confidence and working on his training. Roscoe is used to home life so is likely to be housetrained, and he is looking for a quiet, adult-only environment where he can be the only pet, relax, and truly feel safe and secure.

4. Kira
Kira is a firm favourite and the absolute queen of her block, known all around the centre for her joyful kisses, happy bum wiggles, and hilarious, out-of-control zoomies! A lovely girl with a lot of love to give, one of her absolute favourite things to do is roll around in the sand and dirt. While she loves human company and is housetrained, with the ability to be left for a full working day, she isn’t a big fan of other dogs. Because of this, Kira is looking for an adult-only home where she can be the only pet, enjoy access to quiet walks, and wear a muzzle when she encounters other dogs. Photo: Dogs Trust
